Event Description
Ella Greenbaum, artistically known as ellakate, is an alternative pop singer-songwriter born, raised, and based in Atlanta, Georgia. Growing up with musical parents and a knack for creating and performing, ellakate found a passion for music that went beyond forcing her brothers to listen to her melodies as a child. “When my dad first explained what the song ‘Brandy’ by Looking Glass was about, I discovered the magic of storytelling in songwriting. I have been singing and making up songs for as long as I can remember,” said ellakate about her innate talents. She has written hundreds of songs since her childhood exploring topics that coincide with the journey of growing up and finding love, filling piles of notebooks in her room with song lyrics. ellakate’s songs recount stories and experiences that may have not happened to her but are inspired by events that have impacted her.
Her voice has been compared to a “young Sara Bareilles,” showing her vocal prowess - honest and sensual, with a hint of innocence. Her sultry vocals mixed with her haunting, bold, and romantic sound are reminiscent of artists like Billie Eilish, Fiona Apple, and Lana Del Rey. ellakate is a breath of fresh air in the musical climate, writing exactly what we’re all thinking and spinning it in a mature, yet cheeky way. She just released her debut EP, Illusion, on Friday, February 23rd!
Ashe B is a musician, performer, producer, community organizer & more. Growing up classically trained on double-bass, Ashe wanted to explore more modern applications of his musical skill & divided his bass. He ended up with an electric bass.. then guitar... then MPC...then Ableton & some mics. After gaining a deeper understanding of melody, storytelling, & overall songwriting, Ashe brought his songs to life on ‘Something for Anyone Vol.I’. This impressive 4-track EP was inspired by the likes of The Strokes(CUT), Mac Miller(SLEEPIN’), Father John Misty(PUKE), & Bon Iver/Frank Ocean (FORTH).
In 2022, Ashe started to host his own intimate acoustic concert series titled Untitled Soirees as a way to showcase local talent & grow a network of like-minded DIY creatives in Atlanta. His acoustic performances are fun, crowd engaging, stripped down masterclasses of his otherwise impressively self-produced tracks. Ashe B is working on ‘Something for Anyone Vol.II’ & has released two driving electro-pop singles ‘DARLIN’ & ‘MILE HIGH CLUB’. In 2024 Ashe will team up with friends to bring his songs to life in a full-band live setting. Stay tuned.
